Every day, I think about quitting my major, but I do this because I feel I don't have a choice. All the effort and suffering I'd been through would be for naught if I don't earn at least a solid amount of money, right?
What has motivated me to apply for a role at this company in this field?148Please respect copyright.PENANAtOpDLyEIMp
Money. Social status. I don't want to fall behind. I don't want to feel like crap every time someone boasts about their assets, job or title when I don't have anything.148Please respect copyright.PENANAOD6DSY7zAN
And I'm obviously applying to your company because I'm applying to every one available as backup.148Please respect copyright.PENANA0NL7k21G8u
What unique skills can I bring to the field?148Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ3rJj1z1N
I suppose I'm decent at anything that involves logic - calculations, algorithms of the such. Though I'm not outstanding like a lot of people, and I have an ingrained fear of hard work such that my core instinct is to avoid any sort of work I deem "difficult" until my violent fear of failure kicks in and I start to panic. That's right. The only "motivation" that really makes me work is panic.148Please respect copyright.PENANAmoPk1tK1ZM

I guess I'm very self-aware of my flaws, but I cannot for the life of me figure out a solution to them. However, since I despise all humans, I don't pay attention to anything around me and can't read the room. But I love working in teams so I don't die by myself, and I'm easy to work with as I'm polite, logical and friendly on the outside. Don't worry, I don't look at a human and immediately decide to hate their guts. Hating humans is nothing personal. Actually, the only thing I have going on for me are my people skills and how good I am at pretending to be passionate when I actually don't do shit. 148Please respect copyright.PENANAA87llxbXve
I know I'm just a dime in a dozen, a hundred, or even a thousand. But please... I... I need to earn a lot of money... I might not have the grandest motivation nor have an amazing skillset, but...ugh...148Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0k3sru9n9
Maybe I'm unsuited for life after all.148Please respect copyright.PENANAQSrZVJzLpA

Extracurricular activities, experience, qualifications and grades?148Please respect copyright.PENANAuhXwzw4HBu
I did a few extracurricular activities, but nothing compared to most of my overachieving friends. I'm not a prefect or a leader of any big club, though I have experience in managing a team or two, and it was incredibly fun. Experience... I've done retail. Except I wasn't interested at all in what I was selling so I probably single-handedly dropped sales by 25%...148Please respect copyright.PENANArBADQhCmWn
I'm a qualified professional hater-of-humanity and procrastinator. My grades are lower than they should be. They're nothing special, but they aren't too low. If I tried harder, if I wasn't so instinctively afraid of hard work, if I had a real dream I'd do almost anything to reach... I'd probably have much higher grades. Well, I'd be much more successful. And I probably won't be writing this right now as I break down thinking about how much I hate my major and future job.148Please respect copyright.PENANAxBH86qb0CN
Where would you see yourself in 5 years?148Please respect copyright.PENANAhV6n4Wb6yU
To be honest, I can't see myself in 5 years. Every week is hard for me to endure in my major, and I know that in the industry, it wouldn't be much different. How would I survive a month, much less a year or 5? I want to quit. I want a break, at least, to figure out what I should do. But I can't. Because then, I'll forget what I've learnt, and since I hate it, I won't study it, and I'll be rendered unqualified for any job in the field.148Please respect copyright.PENANAWaWjMa5oHl
I wish I would be guaranteed to earn a lot of money doing something I'm good at. At least I'd know what I'm doing.148Please respect copyright.PENANABoWPoXlFeN
Every lecture,,, every assignment... I'm absolutely clueless to what is going on. 148Please respect copyright.PENANAhAnGBT69Bf

I don't want to live like this. But what can I do?148Please respect copyright.PENANApUAtGkRlv0
Studying... working... it's only a matter of reading words and writing it down. Following instructions. Figuring out what to do from what you wrote. But no matter how I convince myself, every fiber of my being is shouting at me, 148Please respect copyright.PENANAYLlhad5xQQ

I'm pathetic. Struggling with something so simple, living a life so privileged yet I'm like this. To be honest, I don't think I'm fit for this position at all.148Please respect copyright.PENANAfHIQS6EaCY
